Jul 15, 2020

On the two days of the weekend, billet prices continued to rise, driven by stronger steel shocks during the night. As of July 13, the direct billet prices for steel billets once again reached a new high for the year, which now includes a tax report of 3400 yuan/ton, and the warehousing spot price has risen, with a tax report of about 3500 yuan/ton, an increase of 10-30 yuan/figure from last Friday. Tons vary, and under the ferment of optimism, steel prices have recently risen in turns, showing a prosperous scene.


In addition to the disk's push, this wave of rise is also related to the recovery of macro sentiment. At the same time, recent domestic infrastructure policies are also boosting market confidence.

As of July 13, the average price of the top ten key cities in the country showed that hot-rolled coil was 3,867 yuan/ton, medium and heavy plate was 3,883 yuan/ton, hot-rolled strip price was 3,960 yuan/ton, and the price of galvanized pipe was 5,138 yuan/ton, both hit a new high this year.

It should be noted that as the rainy weather continues in the southern region and the demand side is suppressed, domestic steel prices may have relatively limited upward space.
